Today, our amazing Student Leadership team helped bring the season to life as Santa, his reindeers, and elves made a special visit!
While Santa shared a festive holiday story with our first graders, his trusty reindeers and cheerful elves stayed busy helping him check his list—twice, of course! ✔️🎄
A huge shoutout to our student leaders for spreading joy and creating unforgettable moments for our youngest learners. 🦌📚💫
